   PAX Present: 16 Total – Stark, Tupac, H2, Brita, Pixar, Gadget, Hedgehog, Sipe, Mary Lou, Trinity, Nails, Mr. Belding, Poodle, Venom, Bambi, Splinter

   It was a cold dark evening @ Pride Rock and the perfect weather for a Pre-Thanksgiving beat down. YHC had the privilege of posting at Rivercrest with the Perrysburg PAX earlier in the day and drew some inspiration from them for his Pride Rock VQ.

   We circled up near the shovel flag which was blowing strong and proud in the wind.
   -Reviewed 5 Core Principles including disclaimer.

   The Thang:

   -YHC led the PAX over to the walking path and then we did an Indian Run over to the cement wall on the south side of Pacesetter Park. (0.5mi)

   Part 1:
   -20 Diamond Merkins
   -Moving Wall Kicks in a line alternating legs down the wall (keep hands up!) (kicking above the ~3.5feet chalk line).(Imperial Walkers if you are in line or finished)
   -25 Wide Arm Merkins
   -Moving Wall Kicks
   -30 Regular Merkins
   -Moving Wall Kicks

   Round 2:
   -Circle Up – ABC’s
   -Moving Wall Kicks
   -Bicycle Crunches – 30 IC
   -Moving Wall Kicks
   -LBC’s – 30 IC
   -Moving Wall Kicks

   Part 2 (Turkey Burpees!):
   Lined up shoulder to shoulder facing runway of lights (thank you Mary Lou).
   -50 Yard Sprint Down / 50 Yard Sprint Back
   -Turkey Burpees for 50 yards down…if done first, double back and finish with the six / Sprint Back
   -Repeato on Turkey Burpees

   Part 3:
   -Count Off and divided into two groups of 8 and split into 2 single file lines.
   -YHC explained the rules of…
   FOOTBALL KNOCKOUT ROUND 1:
   -Targets were drawn on the stone wall with 2 footballs per line. First person threw the ball and tried to hit the target. If the target was hit, they rebound the ball and give it to next guy in line without a ball. If they miss, they rebound the ball and try to touch the ball against the target before the 2nd guy with a ball hits the target. If the guy behind you hits the target before you do you are knocked out!
   -If you are eliminated from the game you can get back in line by completing 10 burpees (Proud to say anyone who was eliminated hurried to get the burpees done and got back in line, Aye!)
   -If you are waiting in line in the game you did SSH and we switched to Air Squats about 1/2 way through.
   HALFTIME – No one won the first round of games so we did 25 regular merkins to celebrate!
   KNOCKOUT ROUND 2
   -Same format, but burpees will not get you back in. Those eliminated alternated between 10 burpees / 10 Air Squats / 10 LBC’s
   -There was 1 winner in the second round of games…
   POODLE outlasted Brita with Brady-like precision in a great battle between an emerging star and a F3 seasoned vet!
   The other game ended in a draw as members could not hit the broad side of a barn with their first throws 🙂
   -We mosey’d back to the shovel flag via Indian Run for COT, Count-o-Rama, Name-o-Rama

   COT – We prayed for Brita’s Dad who would be coming home for Holidays. Prayed for patience and those travelling over the holidays. Prayed for friend of Hedgehog’s who recently lost a young child. Prayers for Splinter’s family who had a loss this year and will be making the holidays a difficult time. Prayers for Tickets recovery.

   We have so much to be thankful for and this group of men continues to inspire the lives of so many, thank you again for the opportunity to lead and be apart of such a tremendous movement.

   Moleskin:
   -Appreciate the support of the Perrysburg PAX coming out tonight! Also appreciate Sipe with the last minute football and Mary Lou with the lights!
   -2nd F after the beatdown was awesome @ Cantina, thanks to Pixar for organizing!
   -Possible Lexicon Addition: Turkey Burpee – Standard Burpee…then instead of standing back up…you take 5 low…knuckle dragging steps and THEN stand back up. Low long strides like a Turkey…pretty sure its NOT going to catch on 😉
